Shadow Canyon Trail

Did this become a little more technical after the September floods and the fire, or am I just getting old ?

It's all banged up, that's for sure. I was very surprised just how high the damage went - the fire a few summers back didn't help things, I don't think. It's not the funnest trail to descend on tired legs, or when there's *just* a bit of snow/ice (twisted anke city). Def. took me awhile to figure out what was actually the trail, when it reopened.

Pretty huge downed trees up high, as well. I was up there, late one night (because, I'm a little crazy), with the wind fierce and I was honestly afraid something was going to topple on me. And then, I twist my ankle...
